Is this heater loud or does it run quiet? Has it save you money on your electric bill? Would you buy this heater again? 1500 sq ft?

As far as noise, it has about the same level as a fan set on a low setting. It is not really loud, but it does make some sound. It can save money on your bill, but the principle of zoned heating is that you will turn your main thermostat down significantly, and have zoned heating in the areas that you spend the most time in. For small apartments or homes where you use all of the space all of the time, it's doubtful you will save money, since you won't be able to turn your thermostat down. We have 5 of these in the rooms we spend time in, and turn our thermostat down so the main heater does not run. We have noticed a savings doing this.

We haven't had this fan for very long but so far we love this heater/light/fan! The fan is very quiet. The heater is a bit more noisy but actually is very quiet also. I assume it will last a very long time as long as it is installed correctly. Our electrician is impressed with it so I would say, great purchase!

I have used this heater to heat a small living room and kitchen but it uses a ton of electricity as any electric heater will. The kitchen and living room is probably half of the total 1024 sq ft of the house. I used it for a few months in southern Maryland during the winter, my electric bill was usually $40 more just because of that heater. I haven't used it since last year but do recall when it cycled on, the lights would dim/flicker. It has 2 modes 900 watt and 1500 watt and I only used it on the 900 watt mode. I would guess it may ok for a bedroom only, as long as it was closed off.

I don't think it's loud especially when compared to other types of heaters. I've had several heaters of different types over the years & this one is definitely a lot quieter than any other I've owned with the exception of a dish type which didn't have any kind of fan. The only thing that's loud on this is after it cycles down it does make a distinct "pop" when it shuts itself completely off. Any heater with a fan is going to make some noise but this is by far much quieter than most.

It is a little loud but not nearly as bad as some other heaters that I had in the past. I have to put the tv up a bit but I have no problem sleeping with it on.

Hi Katherine....this heater is very quiet. We use it in our pop up truck camper and it works great. Go for it. Jim

I do not consider the unit to be loud. It does run a fan continuously to move the air in the room so it does not turn off very much. The unit has an energy star rating. Love the unit - - seems to be one of the best that I've encountered.

I shut my heatpump completely off and used 2 of these heaters for a 3 bedroom 2 bath doublewide but I also had a fireplace going most of the time. It was a total electric bill of $150. for a month and we had an exceptional winter with lots of snows and cold air. They work really great!!

I have not looked at my electric bill, but since it has a timer and auto shut off. The heater won't be on when it does not need to, I guess that will do save me some money.

I think this is a fantastic little heater. For some reason, the corner where I sit to watch tv gets chilly. I put the heater on a small table to the side of me and let it oscillate. Keeps me warm and cozy without being smothering. You can set the temperature you want and it cycles on and off. It's whisper quiet! My furnace went out just a week or two after I bought it and for a week it was my only source of heat. In less than a day it heated one fairly large room and bathroom without any problem. Best of all, I didn't notice any change in my electric bill (my furnace is gas w/an electric thermostat). I think this is a fantastic little heater.

Not very noisy at all, you can hear it but it hasn't kept me from studying, watching movies or TV. I would recommend this heater to anyone

Yes there is soft "clicks" when it first comes on but there are not as loud as previous baseboard heaters we had in the past. Once it is on and hot the periodic cycling makes less noise. My wife says she notices more than I do, but neither of us are bothered by it, and it is in our bedroom.

This heater is very quiet but does make a clicking noise when it cycles on and off. I am a lite sleeper but after a little while I didn't even notice the noise. I hope this helps.

To be honest I don't really monitor it that often because the 2 that we have in our home are in storage areas. Although one of them is in a closet of a bedroom and no one hears it. So far it's been running better than the old tank water heaters that we had and no complaints about the water or electric bill either.

Ours was very loud, but my husband fixed it, actually it is pretty quiet. However, make sure you want this item, returning it whether broken or not will cost you min. $30. We enjoy it now that its repaired. ALso, our ad said it was a 1500 watt and we received a 1350, they never followed up with me when I complained about that.
